Players stand 10 feet apart.
The basketballs will be passed back and forth to each other.
The player must control the basketball with the hand the ball was passed to.
As players improve you can get them to continue this drill while moving from one side of the court to the other (as shown in the video).
To add an element of competition and jeopardy to the drill you can add the following condition - if a player drops the ball you they must do 3 press ups before continuing the drill.
Good team defence is five players guarding the ball, not five separate one-on-ones. The shell drill is where that starts, so here is how to teach help-side positioning and rotations from the first week of the season.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
